4.1 Description
The equipment is designed such that, via a hydraulically activated piston, two equal, opposite
blade arms are symmetrically opened / closed by mechanical joints, thereby spreading,
squeezing, pulling or cutting objects.
All cutters and combi tools ensure full load-holding function when disconnected from the
hydraulic supply (e. g. when being unintentional decoupled; defective hose, and so on).
